Prominently situated in a walled
garden, Whitehern is an outstanding example of a
mid-nineteenth-century urban estate originally owned by a wealthy
industrialist. The house today has a multi-layered character that
reflects the alterations made by three generations of the
McQuesten family. It contains elements from many time periods
-Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian - all overlaid with original
possessions dating up to 1939 when the Honorable Thomas McQuesten
was Minister of Highways. Explore the heritage of Victorian ideas
and possessions that influenced life at Whitehern on the eve of
W.W.II when the niceties of a bygone era were about to disappear
forever.
Our special thank you to all the volunteers for your
time and wonderful service in our communities.
